    I would prefer ext- prefix and keeping a .c suffix, so that when you list
    the content of your dir, all the files beginning with ext are together...
    also it's easier for automatic filename completion some shell provides...
    it's less handy with a .ext

    Also, it might be a good idea to put extensions in a extension folder... er
    directory :-) that would allow to easily move all the extensions when you
    move from a version of the server to another... whener your extensions have
    am ext prefix or suffix (yeah yeah I know cp ext-* or cp *.ext, but on some
    non unix system a directory would be more handy).

    Just 2 more coins.
